Remember 9-11-01. God Bless and Keep America Safe! ORIGINAL 1952 TEXACO FIRE-CHIEF GAS PORCELAIN SIGN #1174 5 Day Auction--This is a superb looking 1952 porcelain back Fire Chief Texaco advertising sign. The sign measures 18" x 12" and has teh 6 grommets for attaching. On the left bottom corner is printed Made in USA and on the right bottom is 3-1-52. This sign is in excellent condition with minimal wear but still very fine shape with bright colors no dents or dings only very tiny and shallow scratches that do not amount to anything. The winner will be very pleased with their purchase. Stay tuned for many up coming signs including a 5 foot 1930's porcelain back Gulf Oil sign with a car. NOTE: I have just been told how to wrap these signs without the package getting to be huge and costing more. PLEASE DO NOT immediately pay with PayPal so that I can refigure the postage costs. Right now I don't have the correct materials to refigure the weight. The calculator will most likely give you a higher price than what will actually be charged. 4 NOTES: GEORGIA RESIDENTS: 7% sales tax will be charged OR a copy of the tax form is needed.POSTAGE RATES are in the bright yellow print below. eBay has just started to use a new end of auction email that really wasn't thought through any too well. Ignore the words pertaining to TAX and INSURANCE. They are erroneous.BOUNCED EMAILS: This has become a huge problem again. I will email you your total 3 times, including through eBay's system. I am no longer going to make long distance phone calls. It has gotten out of hand. If after 3 days after the auction, you do not have an email from me with your total, please request my eBay info and call me. Thanks.I will gladly combine your items for a lower postal rate as long as they are compatible. PLEASE let me know if this is what you wish.I am now marking "Insurance Required" in eBay's Shipping Calculator to cut down on payment errors. PLEASE WAIT until I send you your total since eBay's shipping calulator isn't giving the correct cost for the insurance in many cases!! If you wish to opt out of insurance, please let me know and the invoice can be changed.Emails are more than welcome. Please don't wait until you have the item to ask your questions! Priority or Parcel Post postage (from zip code 30220) for 2 3/4 pounds, shipping weight, plus 75¢ handling will be charged. Insurance is the responsibility of the buyer AND highly recommended.
